Topic: Vaseline/Uranium EAPG ? (Read 1331 times)

I have been to my last carboot of the year, and found some lovely items.

I don't think this is British, and I wondered if it might be American, but have got no books on this sort of glass, apart from a Vaseline glass book, which has something similar but not the same, and dated about 1880.

The tray decoration is reapeated around the glasses, swirl and little dots, and it really glows bright green under UV light.

They wander over here to the US once in a while and if they make it here, bring about $150-200 if they are in a shop. If you are able to narrow it down (I don't speak or read French) or ever figure out who made it, please let us know.

good guesses are Vallerysthal, Portieux, Scailmont (in nearby Belgium). I don't think any of the pieces are marked and all three listed were good at marking at least one or two pieces in a pattern.

You are a star, I would never have thought of French or Belgium :oops: I'll be listing it in the New Year despite it only having 5 glasses, with a picture of it glowing under the UV light :lol:

I took O'level French but it was a VERY long time ago, and it was one of those lessons I remember the teacher, Miss C Holland, who frightened me to death, but I can't remember the language for the life of me.
